What is a brown red?

 

[Teresaann24]

there is brown red cochins he could very well be a project bird like many other colors that have been bred into silkies. It's not impossible any color can be created I have seen so myself. Ever think you would see cuckoo silkies or mottled silkies? Many people have been working for years on different colors.

Ok I have to ask . If a bird is someone elses project , and you only have one how can you use it to start a project ? I'm not trying to be rude --I really don't understand how . I would think that if you like this color and wanted to make more , you would have to find out his original breeding and try to repeat it to obtain enough of a flock to begin to even start the process of true reproduction . Just curious how it all works ~~~ Tammy

I don't want to ruffle feathers (pardon the pun) I just don't think he is brown red maybe more of a black gold. We have those in Ameraucanas.
